Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19615737A1] The invention relates to an active suspension system, especially for vehicles, with supporting units (13) having an adjuster the travel of which can be actively adjusted, and a passive spring (4) in series therewith and preferably a damper (6) fitted at least parallel to the spring. The travel, pitch, roll, longitudinal and transverse acceleration of the structure can be detected by various acceleration sensors (12-14). The travel settings of the supporting units are recorded by travel sensors (11). A signal assessment is displayed which makes it possible to obtain a predeterminable suspension characteristic.
